myHaven Daybed by Young America by Stanley

My chosen special feature this week is this beautiful daybed by Young America by Stanley. I am looking forward to a long beach vacation with my family and this daybed would be the perfect addition to our beach house. Available in a wide variety of luxurious colors from pastels to brilliant hues, this daybed would be wonderful in either a girls bedroom or a boys bedroom.

Another thing I love about this bedroom set is that is solid and stylish for use for many years as my children grow. Choosing childrens’ bedroom furniture is a careful decision, an investment in your child’s environment and setting the stage for sweet dreams and lots of cuddling. The myHave Daybed is not too childish, nor too adult in its sturdy construction. I am a big fan of the daybed style as my children feel snuggled into their bed inside the high backings. Children will also love the color selection and find one perfect for their developing bedroom design tastes.

A fun feature available with this bedroom set in the underbed trundle – perfect for sleepovers! Also available with a storage unit that provides kids the opportunity to help out and clean up their own bedroom by offering a fun place to store all their toys.

This item also has FREE shipping at RosenberryRooms.com with White Glove Delivery Service!

If you are looking for a childrens’ bedroom set that will last the years with ornate design and beautiful construction, the myHaven Daybed may just be the perfect bedroom set for your child.

When you are ready to really personalize your child’s room with great wall art, you may be surprised at just how many options you have. It can definitely be overwhelming especially if you aren’t aware of various types of art that are available to you. To help take the stress out of the most exciting part of decorating (the wall art) I am going to highlight the many types of kid’s art available to you and point out a few of their features. Hopefully with this information you will be able to decide what you and your child’s needs are, and what type(s) of kid’s wall art would fit the space the best.

Canvas Reproductions – these are original works of art that are printed on a canvas which is then stretched around a wooden frame and ready to hang. Since these don’t need to be framed, there is no need to use a glass covering and they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, making them a great choice for kid’s rooms and playrooms.

Hand Painted Art – obviously, these are actually hand-painted, giving them uniqueness not found in other types of art. Even if you purchased two of the same, they would be a little different, and for many that is the appeal, knowing it is a one-of-a kind. You will find these both framed, and as stretched canvases or even as wall plaques. There is something incredibly special knowing that the artist created that very piece just for you. Typically you will also have options to customize by altering colors or some other details in the picture, which is another added bonus.

Wall Hangings – if you need to cover a large amount of wall space, or have unusually high ceilings, wall hangings are a good choice. There are a variety of styles for wall hangings, some of them hang by ribbon or wooden dowels, others by decorative nails, others from the ceiling, but all of them will lay flat against your wall and tend to be larger in size than other artwork.

Framed Art – this is pretty self-explanatory, but there are some things to note: first, if the art is a reproduction, it will probably come without a glass or plexiglass but if it is hand-painted it will typically have a covering to protect it; second, framed art is usually smaller than other types of artwork, making it great for filling in small or awkward spaces; Third, the frame is almost like another piece of art in itself, adding color, style and interest to the room.

Wall Stickers – these are definitely for those of us that are indecisive, easily bored or commitment phobes! These are removable and can be rearranged over and over again, giving you so many options and ways to create the artwork on the wall. There are also ones that are mini chalkboards and frames…what a fun way to fill up some space!

Wall Plaques – usually made of wood, these typically have a very vintage feel to them, which I think has a place in any room regardless of the theme or style. You can use these on your child’s wall or resting on a shelf, making them very versatile.

Hanging Wall Letters – these have become very popular over the past few years, probably because they are so personal – you can choose from so many fonts, colors, and patterns, or custom design your own. What better way to truly personalize your child’s room than with specially made letters showcasing their name or initials? Many can hang with a nail, others with added ribbon, plus many designers offer coordinating nail covers so that you can have a very polished look.

Growth Charts – although this doesn’t typically seem like it would be a piece of wall art, with the options that are available now, there is no doubt. They are, in fact, little pieces of art that also serve the practical purpose of charting your little one’s growth, which in turn becomes something that can be saved and enjoyed for many years.

Now that you have an idea of the different styles and types of kid’s art available to you, it should be much easier to know how you want to fill their space. Don’t feel like you have to stay within just one style…on the contrary, by mixing and bringing these different types of wall art together, you will be able to create an inspiring and fun room for your child.

Best-Selling Boys Bedding – Organic Dinosaur Crib Bedding

Having and 8 year old and a 10 year old I have started to miss the baby phase. Luckily, several of my friends have recently had babies or are expecting. This gives me an excuse to peruse the wonderful selections of crib bedding that is now available. I haven’t had to think about or buy baby things in quite awhile and I am amazed at the colors, fabrics and designs that I have to choose from. In particular, boys crib bedding has come along way. I remember only a few choices when my son was an infant and now there are thousands of amazing boys crib bedding patterns that make it a hard, but wonderful decision! I remember placing my infant son into his crib at night and just standing over him, watching him sleep. The imprint of his light blue sheets and train design crib border is forever engrained in my memory. Every time I think of him snuggled into his crib amongst the soft blue bedding, I can smell that wonderful baby smell again. I want to give my girlfriend that same kind of joy when she looks over her sleeping baby. I want her memory to permanently imprint with that beautiful sight.

I have been scouring the best-selling boys crib bedding selections and found this adorable crib set that is the perfect setting for these memories – Organic Crib Bedding Set – Dinosaur by Argington.

 This best-selling boys crib bedding has soft blue dinosaur print with a reversible comforter printed with dinosaur tracks. Some of the dinosaur designs are nose to nose as if playing. When I look at this luxurious crib bedding set, a sense of warmth and comfort comes over me. Other great features are that this set is 100% certified organic cotton sateen, 220 thread count, which means that no herbicides or pesticides have been used in production. The prints are done with low impact dyes using a low impact printing process. Comforters, bumpers, and pillows have 100% cotton fill. The fabric texture is smooth to the skin and remarkably soft. And above all….it is all natural. Organic crib bedding set includes:

1 reversible comforter (36″ x 50″)
1 reversible bumper
1 fitted sheet
1 crib skirt

And, of course, I love the FREE SHIPPING on this items offered by Rosenberry Rooms.

I hope that my girlfriend will experience the love and beauty nestled into this organic crib dinosaur bedding that I have forever in my memories.

My last post was about utilizing color and how to achieve the right color ratio in your child’s room. Then I pointed out some of the more popular color schemes for kids which included pink & green, orange & blue, and red, white & blue. It was so fun to highlight décor that showed off these different colors, that I decided to add a few more combinations and basically expand further on this topic. If you want to read the color basics before looking at these specific schemes (I would suggest it), then click here. Okay, now that you have caught up, I am going to highlight a few other combinations for your children’s rooms that I think are fun and easy to pull together.

Brown & Pink – a classic combination for girls with so many options that you can go shabby chic, modern, or somewhere in between. Check out these CoCo Hand Painted Wall Letters and the great patterns that are used:

I love the blend of a traditional base with a more modern shade on the Clayton Brown Lamp by Charn & Co: 

Brown & Blue – so versatile and a great combination for any age, just look at this Oxygen Blue Brown Ivory Rug…clean and simple, plus the touch of ivory gives it interest:

This Nikko Double Drum Chandelier is just great…I like the use of khaki trim instead of brown – it is a little bit lighter and actually makes this piece coordinate with many different styles. 

Yellow & Pink – although not the most obvious combination to use, just look at how fresh and fun this Isabel Bedding Set is: 

This Gerber Rug is absolutely adorable and the perfect accent piece for your little girl’s nursery or bedroom:

Orange & Green – There is something so energizing about this color combo, and I love the tones in this Links Rug:

This Colors of Spring Lamp is the perfect accent lamp solving both your need for some extra light and a great looking piece of décor:

All of these color combos say something different, bring a different energy and fit different styles. I highlighted pieces that showed both colors together on one piece, but be sure to look at solid pieces in each color and always include a neutral and a bit of black. Here are more color theme options from Rosenberry Rooms.

Happy decorating!
